$39.5 million-winning Lotto Max ticket sold in Lower Mainland

Someone will be starting the new year a whole lot richer after winning last week’s Lotto Max jackpot.

A ticket sold for in South Delta was the only one in Canada to match all seven numbers in the Friday, Dec. 28 draw, meaning whoever bought it is now $39.5 million richer.

The winner has 52 weeks from the draw date to claim their prize. BCLC said in a press release that it will announce the specific retail location that sold the winning ticket after the winner has come forward.
